| Abstract | A survey was conducted among 164 affluent women over thirty and attending an extension campus of Pierce Community College (California) to determine their educational aims and social values in comparison to national norms for part-time women students. In terms of degree-orientation and occupational aspiration, 61.7% of respondents were degree-seeking compared to 66.3% of the norm group, with 71.3% of respondents under fifty expecting to obtain a degree; of those respondents listing their career choice, 20.2% chose homemaking, compared to 4.9% of the norm; 86.4% of respondents placed prime importance in choosing a career upon personal interest in a career field. In terms of traditional values, 89.5% of respondents were married compared to 79.1% of norm group; 41.4% of respondents listed raising a family as very important compared to 31.1% of the norm; 56% of respondents objected to having sex after a short acquaintance compared to 75% of the norm; 66% of respondents rejected more lenient marijuana legislation compared to 77% of the norm. In terms of spouse approval and home responsibilities, both groups were equally concerned about these issues. Respondents generally had a high self-image and ranked their personal characteristics 15 to 25 percentage points above the norm group. Statistical data and the survey instrument are appended. (LH) |
